Eagle Plains targets drilling at George Lake in 2026

Eagle Plains Resources President and CEO Chuck Downie joined Steve Darling from the Vancouver Resources Investment Conference to share news about the company talked with Proactive about the company’s exploration strategy and key priorities heading into 2026. Downie outlined a strong year ahead for Eagle Plains, which plans to be involved in up to $14 million in exploration spending, with around $2.5 million self-funded and the remainder through partner-funded drilling. This includes work at the George Lake zinc project, which boasts a historic resource and is benefiting from modern modeling and airborne data obtained through Saskatchewan government programs. He highlighted the advantages of operating in Saskatchewan, including government-backed geoscience data and exploration incentives, noting, “If we spent $800,000 on a drill program, we’ll get $150,000 back from the government, which is like enough for another hole.” Eagle Plains is a project generator with around 40 projects in Saskatchewan, plus dozens more in British Columbia and the Yukon. The company has focused in recent years on copper-gold projects in BC, uranium in Saskatchewan, and gold across the region. Additionally, Downie revealed that the Dufferin uranium project is scheduled for drilling within weeks, with other partner-funded exploration likely to follow. #proactiveinvestors #eagleplainsresources #tsxv #epl #otcqb #egplf #MiningStocks #JuniorMining #ZincExploration #UraniumStocks #GoldExploration #ProjectGenerator #GeorgeLake #DufferinProject #SaskatchewanMining #CopperGold #MiningInvestment #Exploration2026 #TSXV #OTCQBEGPLF
